Drive along the Desert Highway to Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. This ancient city, established around the 6th century B.C. by the Nabataean Arabs, was the hub of a profitable commercial empire that reached into Syria. when arrival, meet your private local guide and start walking along the 1.2-kilometer-long narrow canyon known as the Siq, which is surrounded by vibrant sandstone. At the end of the Siq, you will have the stunning sight of the Treasury, a great monument with a facade measuring about 30 meters broad and 43 meters high, carved out of red rose sandstone towards the beginning of the 1st century. You take plenty of photographs as you continue down the Street of Facades to the Royal Tombs and Pharaoh's Castle. After your guided tour, you will have a little time to explore Petra on your own.
